Abstract
In their average grain-size parameters (K d , K dl), recent sediments of the northern Caspian Sea and the Barents Sea shelf are similar, while the sediments of the Norwegian Sea are closer to their counterparts of the World Ocean. Seaward, the content of the subcolloidal fraction increases against the background of the decreasing proportions of coarse-and medium-grained pelite matter.
